Workers Party Proposes to Guarantee Two Days of Rest
Workers Party Deputies today proposed reforming Article 123 of the Constitution to guarantee two days of rest for every five days of work. The President’s 40 hour workweek proposal, which was recently approved in the Senate to be gradually implemented by 2030, made no allowances for a five day workweek, despite it being common to every previous legislative proposal and a long-standing demand of trade unions, leading to substantial criticism. The proposal was put forwarded by the PT’s Parliamentary Group deputies.
